Hi there!

I'm a new fan of yours... your pictures will immortalize the places that these poor people had to live the last of their lives. Thanks for doing this - you're amazing for having the gall to go in!

P.S. - please e-mail me, I have some questions! stellanation@gmail.com

if you only worked in a place like this you could only imagine the hell these people went through,

Hey what are you doing here? You gotta love this site!

this picture is so sad just knowing the fact that alot of people died and i only went on this site because i had to do a projest and i will keep on comeing to this site b-cuz its cool

nice pics bro..i like the site,im still interested in the place and ive been there a few times but still want to learn more..keep it up ; )

This picture gives me a chance to see it as my brother Dana did. As he climbed down the stairs to find his new family.

interesting pic, but it makes u sad to know that ppl actually had to down those stairs

this picture creeps the hell out of me. but i LOVE it. <3 so sad though.

Great picture. I work at Westboro State and seeing these pictures kinda creeps me out. This place is also falling apart.

It almost looks like the stairwell itself was an addition. Why else would the window be placed between flights?

they put the stairs over the window for dramatic affect

watch the movie Session 9 its a very detailed veiw of DHS.

...I've never been to the Danvers Asylum before to brake-in & look around, the only real reson that I *Know* anything about the Danvers Asylum is because of the movie 'Session 9'. I Live out in Framingham, MA, & Me & few friends of mine Broke into another mid-1800's Kirkbride Asylum....the Abandoned Worcester State Hospital...which is right directly next to the ACTIVE Worcester State Hospital & The place was crawling with Armed Security Guards Driving Marked white SUV's...We had to be all dressed in black, head to toe with resperator masks so-as not to breath-in anything that would be very bad for is to breath in...They were all Decked-Out with Flash lighs & There was me, "the Big Guy" of the group Carrying a 75 Lbs. Hardened Steel Pick Axe Over one Shoulder in case of Squatters, Dangerous Animals, etc.....once we got in, it was pretty lame...I Had a co2 gassed pellet hand gun that looked just like a .44-Magnum Six Revolver in a chest holdster, a bat came out & Buzzed one of my friends, I unloaded a full cylinder into the bat before he could fly back to his nest or whatever.....

in a strange sense. i think it is beautiful. well mostly because of the photography but nontheless.

This is so beautifully haunting. One can almost see the spirits of the past. As for Brads brotherly memories, it is touching to hear that someone, at least, was saved from a death in this place.
